At the National Science and Media Museum, in the heart of Bradford, we explore the science and culture of image and sound technologies and their impact on our lives. We aim to inspire the scientists and engineers of the future to see more, hear more, think more and do more. Copyright, reproductions and image licensing We’re happy for you to share the images we post within the spirit of the Commons, although certain restrictions apply.

    Photos of the Past Approved. Really nice app, James - has it had much take up by The Commons community? - Emma

    Apologies Emma, I've only just seen this comment. Glad you liked it. Not much uptake as yet, but I haven't really promoted it directly to them. I have now set it though to automatically post comments when geo or date suggestions are made and are awaiting approval (as you saw here) so I suspect more people will become aware of it. So far there have been 316 geo suggestions and 182 date suggestions across all Commons images, but over a half of these remain unapproved. I'm just working on some functionality that would allow you to set challenges, for example to create a set and then promote those amongst your users. Would that be of interest? You can of course already promote a link to any individual image in the form www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons/photo.php?photo_i... (using the image ID from the photo page url) or to a search on your images, for example www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons/search.php?q=&... is all your non-geotagged images dated pre-1900 (I can see some quite obvious ones I could get started with!)
